Presentation Conference

With the Presentation Conference Wizard, you can run a presentation over your network or on the Internet. (The leader of the conference must have PowerPoint 97, and all participants must have PowerPoint 97 (or newer versions) installed on their computers.) To start a presentation conference, open your presentation and click Tools, Presentation Conference. Get everyone on the phone. Once they are on the line, click Next. The Presentation Wizard will guide you through the set up process. When asked if you are the presenter or a member of the audience, click the Presenter button, then click Next. To show all your slides, just click Next. Otherwise, click Cancel, then choose Set Up Show from the Slide Show menu to change the settings. Click Next. Then click your Internet service provider icon. Once you are connected, click Next on the PowerPoint Central Wizard screen. The last step is to ask each person for the name of her computer or Internet address as it appears in this wizard on her computer. Type that information in the field in which the cursor is blinking. Now you can run your slide show by clicking View, Slide Show. Keep in mind that the following elements of a presentation can't be viewed or heard by the audience during a presentation conference: multimedia objects such as sound or video clips (except sound effects applied to transitions and animations, if the audience's computers have the necessary hardware); embedded objects, such as a chart from Microsoft Graph; and editing of linked or embedded objects.
